Once you cut you cant roll or pull- If you roll you can come back later if you need more room and Pull the fender out for even more clearance and you never have to worry about oxidation and rusting

wasn't directing at you specifically...just replying in general!
the rolling thing...if you don't have to, even better. BUT, having now done it, trust me, fenders are a lot more robust than you think...you hit them with some heat and then roll with the baseball bat or a hammer handle...it goes pretty easily.

Since we are somewhat on this topic, I recently put on my stockies and my car was lowered to fit the 18's I had on. The stockies are wider and tires beefier and I attempted to enter a driveway that has a pretty deep trench before it and the wheel caught my fenders and pulled them out. I used a screw driver to push the section back in and I noticed there was a little paint crack but is it only on the underside of the fender. My question is, will the crack spread onto the exterior of the fender? If so, is there something I can put on there to prevent that?

^^ you will be all set the crack wont travel on its on but it may crack more if you try to roll your fenders now- I would buy a touch up pen and just go over the crack spot to seal it up.
I wrote up a quick DIY to fender rolling in this section in case anyone needs to refer to it.

jack up the car, bolt on the wheel. put a floor jack under the lower control arm and jack the wheel up to see how the wheel and clearance will look. there's mad camber when you're lowered so it'll help the wheel clear the fender.
you knew beforehand that it sticks out 35mm vs. stock right? ...almost an inch and a half.
looking forward to see how this looks.
